Nice carvings. What species of wood is that?
Basswood. Got it off a guy on eBay.
Ahh yes, basswood. Never seen this wood species.
It’s supposed to be the easiest wood to carve for beginners, and it does carve quite nicely if you get the right variety. I bought some poor quality basswood off a no-name Amazon brand and it was quite tough.
What sort of knives are you working with?
Just the one knife - a flexcut rouging knife (KN14). I followed dywoodcarving on YouTube for the chick, and made the Tux by myself.
Haha, for anyone else puzzled who’s seen dywoodcarving before: “followed dywoodcarving’s guide for carving a baby chick”
It’s baby penguin Jesus 🙏
That first pic reminds me of Private.
The thumbnail reminded me of the Löwenmensch figurine
It’s actually supposed to be Tux, but I’ll take that :)
That’s it! Couldn’t dig that out of my slow memory, haha
I thought it was Tux, you nailed it
My first thought was he wants me to install Linux, I got tux from it
Happy cake day! 🎂
Thank you!
